teaser 8:

Josie

But he just nudges his forehead against mine and whispers, “Goodnight, Josie.”

“Goodnight, Mitchell,” I whisper back.

And then he’s padding across the grass, his steps silent in his mismatched socks, across the lawn, into the darkness. Gone.

about the book:

Mitchell Morrison and Josie Sedgwick have spent their whole lives at the Indian Paintbrush Community Village, a commune full of colorful characters tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, and they aren’t particularly close—at least, not anymore. Josie wishes she could spend all of her time at Paintbrush planting tomatoes, hiking the trails, or throwing giant communal birthday parties, while Mitchell can’t wait to escape the bizarre spiritual sharing and noisy community dinners. Luckily for both of them, high school graduation is just around the corner.

But when Mitchell’s mother makes a scandalous announcement that rocks the close-knit Paintbrush community, and Josie’s younger sister starts to make some dangerously bad decisions, the two find themselves leaning on each other for support—and looking at each other in a whole new light. Their childhood friendship blossoms in to something more as they deal with their insane families, but as graduation approaches, so does life in the real world, forcing Josie and Mitchell to figure out what, exactly, their relationship is—and if it can survive their very different plans for the future.

about the author:

Hannah Bucchin has spent her life falling in love with beautiful places, both real and fictional. She grew up in charming Bethlehem, PA, went to college in sunny Chapel Hill, NC, spent a summer studying wildlife in Tanzania, volunteered on organic farms across New Zealand, and hiked all over Acadia National Park in Maine. When not writing, reading, or adventuring, she likes to daydream about the dog she’ll adopt someday, listen to music from the sixties, and exchange ridiculous texts with her parents and siblings.

teaser 7:

Mitchell

“Shut up, Cord,” I reply automatically. But my brain is turning. Are we just hanging out because Josie thinks I need help? Because she’s watching out for me, after everything that happened with my mom?

Maybe this isn’t anything. Maybe she just feels sorry for me.

But maybe isn’t enough for me to stop myself from seeing her tonight.

teaser 6:

Josie

And I push all thoughts of them out of my mind until the bell rings, and I practically race outside toward Mitchell’s truck. I don’t know what all his stuttering weirdness in the hallway was about, but I intend to find out.

I’m not fast enough because he still beats me there. If I raced out of school today, he must have sprinted. He’s fiddling with the radio as I approach the car. But as soon as I pull the passenger door open, he sits up straight.

“Josie.” He gazes at me, intense and serious. “We’re going on a mission.”

ConCarolinas, Here I Come!

I can hardly believe it, but ConCarolinas is this weekend! I'll be there signing books alongside Tori Rigby, selling Blaze Publishing's books, and talking about writing and the publishing world on some panels. I've included my schedule below, so if you are in the Charlotte area, be sure to stop by and say hi!

There are some really amazing panels lined up, and some I'm really sad I won't be able to attend. I went last year as an attentee and had a wonderful time. I spent way too much money on books, but my shelves are full and happy! I met some inspiring authors, like David B Coe, Kalayna Price, Beth Revis, Faith Hunter, Darin Kennedy, and so many others. I look forward to meeting even more this year and talking about everything to do with publishing with them. And I look forward to meeting you! We'll have some awesome Blaze swag, and Tori and I both have some fun items to give away too. Can't wait!
